How do I naturally treat iron deficiency?

I am thinking Floradix? I got a RX for ferrous sulfate and just don't feel good about it. I am not sure what to do. I need lots of iron and I need it quickly, because I am so tired, my legs keep falling asleep, ad y anxity and depression are so bad that I have to take an RX for that which goes against everything I wish for myself natural health wise, but I know I need it to be able to start incorporating the healthy practices, since otherwise I just sit on the couch all day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a vitamin D deficiency... I was thinking of taking drops for that.

My body is just a mess since this last pregnancy and I need to get to healing if I ever wish to lead a happy and productive life and especially if I ever want to have another baby.

Yellow dock worked wonders for me for iron (I used the extract - works faster.) I've also used Floradix successfully in the past, it's an excellent product. For vit D I take Green Pastures fermented cod liver oil. This time of year I take additional D in capsule form. Make sure you get vit K as well!

Flordix is a great product. My dr recommended Carlson Vitamin D drops 4000 mg. Our bodies can not absorb them at the time though. You can do one in the morning and one at night or alternate days (like I do). Take vitamin D with healthy fats to assist absorbtion. Take floradix with leafy greens or red meat to help absorbtion. Good luck! I think you will feel results quickly when you start supplementing.

Ferrous sulphate is a naturally occuring chemical compound. Just because you have a prescription for it doesn't make it automatically less healthy or natural than over-the-counter stuff. What is your specific concern about it?

@junquegirl I am very cautious of which supplements I use, they are not all created equal, but I wasn't against the RX I just felt prompted that it was not what I, personally, should be using.

I went to the dr today and got a suggestion for an OTC iron supplement called ferrous fumorate which is supposed to be easier on my gut and since I am pretty sure I have Celiac and that my gut is already a gigantic mess I am glad I decided to go against ferrous sulfate. I will however also be adding in some of these other suggestions, since I absolutely HATE swallowing pills! So, yay for new info. Thanks so much guys, it is so helpful to hear of everyone elses experiences and what will help me out quickly. :D
